Small rats are a vital feeder item for larger carnivorous reptiles, such as sub-adult or adult ball pythons, corn snakes, and larger lizards. Compared to mice, rats provide a different nutritional profile, often preferred for larger species as they grow, and offer a substantial meal that satisfies the higher caloric needs of mature predators.
